Thank you all for shedding light on this dazzling topic 🙂

Assume you have the coding process done to enable the anti-dazzle functionality in the USA, how much is lost when a firmware update is later applied? I know that the removal of the module does not get redone, but are the other module changes something that could be reset using say BimmerCode, or is it another session with the original provider, just maybe not as significant? I know BimmerCode doesn’t support this functionality update, but not sure of the switches in other modules are accessible.

Thanks VTENGR for the explanation! I'm technically inclined but have no experience with coding.
I'm very interested in coding the anti-dazzle, whether I learn it myself or have it done remotely. It sounds like the VO coding will stick but the other will require updating after new firmware. Thanks again. |

Are the videos out there more or less how to do the coding applicable to the G05?
I wish we just had a sticky with the right information. Think I’m gonna attempt to tackle this shortly. |

I had posted in the other thread, forgot about this one. Here is what i did to get it working on my G05.
Coded my anti-dazzle tonight. I updated all of my computers to 3/2021 with ISTA earlier today, and then tackled the lights with esysx, esys version 3.36.2 and psdzdata of 4.28.22. i removed 5AP then updated BDC_Body3, Kafas4, FLM (both), Dkombi. Then I went in and changed the following: FDL Code the following in Kafas 40F9: COUNTRY_VARIATION Europe_RC [01] C_FLA_BS_ENTER_THRESH Rest of world [03] C_FLA_BS_EXIT_THRESH: Rest of world [02] Also code the following in 40F9: C_FLA_CC_MESSAGE_3: CC_message_active to no_CC_message [00] C_FLA_US_SENSITIVITY_MODE: US to Normal [00] I did the additional coding since i saw some on newer than 3/2020 possibly had issues, so figured i'd just go ahead and do it. Just got back from a test drive and everything was working great, could see it blocking out for an oncoming car, and also followed one for awhile and said it block out for the car in front, but still have lights on the sides. Really cool! |

r33_RGSport coded this for me, and several other options.

The anti-dazzle functionality works with both the LED and laser adaptive headlights. With the laser version, you'll get a longer beam coverage when the conditions allow it, but the carving out for traffic should work on either once enabled.

The US implementation of the laser headlights has them producing less intensity than those sold elsewhere (I think it's partly the supplied voltage is lower) and, obviously, the DOT hasn't approved the dynamic capabilities of the lamps...the codes are pretty much stuck in the 1960's that requires two modes: low beam and high beams and gives illumination levels and positioning requirements; the anti-dazzle capabilities have not been approved for use here. There was hope it would happen last fall, but we're now at least 9-months from that expected date, and who knows if, or when, it will change. Prior to that, technically, enabling it could cause a vehicle to fail an inspection, but it would be a big stretch for them to actually do that or catch someone with that enabled. Here's hoping the DOT approves it, and we get it enabled in an OTA updated. I'm not holding my breath, though.
Certain roads, terrain, and lighting conditions will make the laser lights obvious, then keep in mind, they do not get enabled below about 38mph, so running around in many areas, they will make absolutely no difference because they're just not turned on. Where I typically drive, I just can't actually use my high beams much at all. If you're in an area where you can enable high beams, driving through that speed switch should show the difference...prior to that, you're relying entirely on the visible LED lamps (the lasers are LED, but not actually in the visible range...they shine backwards and cause phosphors to glow). |

Do I still need to VO code the following modules before FDL coding KAFAS? -BDC_Body -HU_MGU -FLM2 (both) -KAFAS |

I will attempt to FDL code the KAFAS module next. This appears to be a BIG debate question but I’ll ask again, can you FDL code with a licensed version of Launcher Pro? Or is EsysX the only option but has no attainable license. |

In my case I should of, would have purchased EsysX earlier but never did. Mission completed, will test this evening. Thank you for the assistance VTENGR Last edited by lknbimmers; 03-11-2022 at 03:59 PM.. |

The lasers are the worst illuminating fancy lights I've had. A rental suburban (and Expedition) had/has better illumination than my 2022 lasers. And if you break a laser, it's $3500 each. According to a BMW engineer I heard from the idea is being able to see at extreme distances at very high speed vs a wide illumination pattern; this guy breaks that down: So it's really about looks and knowing the risk of damage. |
